Read Full ArticleTo launch the new series of Ricky Gervais’ After Life, 25 permanent benches have been installed around the UK to encourage people to talk about their feelings.
The initiative is a collaboration between CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably) and Netflix to celebrate the final series of the Netflix hit, which stars Ricky Gervais as a bereaved newspaper writer dealing with the death of his wife from breast cancer.
In the series, a bench in the graveyard plays a pivotal part in the show, where Ricky’s character opens up about his grief to a friend, Anne.
The benches are inscribed with the words, “Hope is everything” – to help people have those difficult conversations and to show it’s normal to want to discuss your emotions.
“I don’t think any harm can come from discussing taboo subjects – if we don’t, they stay taboo because people are scared to talk about them,” says Ricky.
“After Life let people talk about grief, and it was so good to start the conversation.”
